I’ve been looking at luxury cars and for the most part, I’ve been treated very well. No salesmen have been pushy, none have wanted me to run numbers before I left, and none tried to push me into trading my current car. Until I went to Acura, where they did all three plus more. The [read more]
That’s a mouthful. The May 2007 issue of Car and Driver, arriving in your mailbox any day now, features a comparison of eight SUVs priced around $50,000. I’ve driven four of the eight in my quest for my next car and what’s interesting is that they rate them pretty similarly to what I do. They [read more]

Cigarette butts, cans, litter from the back of pickups, yes, but deliberately throwing all your lunch trash away? Unbelievable. Whether it’s [read more]
A few thoughts down before I write the whole review. The base interior in black is very dull. It’s solid black with just a few bits of metal to liven it up. There is an option that adds wood, but also adds $3000 to the sticker price. A beige interior is available and more interesting [read more]
And what does it take to get on it? On my very first Land Rover test drive, the salesman took us on the dealer’s rock track. It was an absolute hoot and a great way to show off the car’s off road prowess. But I’ve now driven three Land Rovers since then and none have [read more]
See this post for an explanation of this list. Volvo S60 Style: Love the exterior. Love the lines, love the proportion. Ups: Volvo safety. Downs: Plasticky controls, uncomfortable headrest. Volvo V70 R Style: A little square, but pretty nice looking with tinted windows. Note: 2008 model is redesigned and much less square. Ups: 300 horsepower, [read more]
